A large CRke decorated with the words "Le Jour des Roi" in green Siting centered the table at a charming evening party given by faculty members of the French de partment for the students enrolled in the more advanced courses. E. V. Telle told the guests about French holidays in his native language and sang several French songs. The party was given in celebration of Twelfth Night, Jan. 6. which is a New Years festival of France. The king or queen who is selected by drawing a bean from a. cake chooses a partner and the guests do them honor. They were presented with gifts by the queen. The gifts consisted of handker chiefs, rings, etc. The whole cere mony was carried out in French. Pineapple ice was served with the cake. There was a moment of suspense during the evening when each guest waited to see who would be the lucky individual to draw the bean and become king. This was modeled after an old ceremony performed in France from Jan. 6 to the Mardi Gias in celebration of the new year. .Kappa Alumnae Give Luncheon.

LIBERAL MEETS WITH FAVOR Students Approve Optional Courses Granted oy New System. r.ihpi-al agriculture, a course which allows students in the col- le-a r.f ncririiUiire opportunities to o o . elect numerous subjects from vari ous other colleges in the univer sity, is fast gaining favor, in the opinion or froi. . n;. jviusseni, chairman of the poultry depart ment. This course, peculiarly named because of the random choice stu dents may make in arranging their schedules, was instituted live years ago. Several years of agitation preceded before arrangements were finally made. Follows Depression. Ti -m followin- the business de pression which came after the war. Mussehi, explained, mat mougm was first given to such a course. Comparatively, agriculture was then worse off than during the present depression. Many students could not be in terested in agricdlture because they claimed the courses were much too practical, rroi. jnussem continued. They wanted training in a general field that would enable-them. to. step into any num ber of businesses. Burnett Interested. Chancellor Burnett, who was then dean of the college of agricul ture, Dean Burr, Prof. Swenk and nthpm hprause ereatlv interested in this new liberal agricultural course. Two or three years later Kftu.- it in workine- form. More students are entering this course every year, Mussehi com mented as he gave examples of the success already shown. Should Work Both Ways. "It would be a good thing." he rnnr-lnrlerl "if the entire university could be so arranged that all stu- rtpntA would nave access to a. lew courses on the college of agricul nr rnmntiH." Aericulture. Prof. Mussebl believes, fits well into any schedule. The liberal field, however, Is nnt a. "pipe" course, this instruc tor hastened to add. Forty hours of agricultural subjects in at least four rlpnartments are reauired.

"Wo the underaigners students In American colleges and univer sities, protest agsiast compulsory military fj-atning in the colleges Tor tn following reasons; We believe that military training courses tend to teach doctrines contrary to the DrtnciDles of the American Government.

Wp believe that military train ing courses seek to idealize war, and to inculate tne spirit or un questioning military obedience uhirh emotional armament of war. We quote with approval Ray mond is. KosdiCK S statement uibl military drill "has as its chief re sult a chance in the mental outlook of young people, so that they 100K upon war as a uunuai part of life and expect to take nart in it. It habituates the thought of the participants to slaughter as a rational means oi setuiug unci- national difficulties, as a legiti mate means of reaching decisions." iWe consider that our military drill courses are not only mcon sistpnt with the KelloEr oact re pudiating war as a means of set tling international aispuien, . uui constitute a grave danger to world peace. We believe, finally, that insis tence upon the compulsory feature of military training indicates that the majority of student opinion stands opposed to it, anu cuu stitutes its own confession of fail ure. Arrnrriinp we netilion the con gress of the United States to con sider the mandate of student op inion on a matter which so vi tally concerns it, and to outlaw the compulsory feature of military training from American colleges and universities."

The mayor continued, "While 1 am here to' pay the city's tribute to such a useful citizen as John R. Webster, I know that his. re tirement will not mean inactivity in good work. Nebraska is no pau per state and it can afford to give the university everything Mr. Webster has wanted, anything Dean Poynter can dream of for the medical college, and anything fhanrellor Burnett can think of trying to wrest from the legisla ture.
